It's Wednesday night and we all know what that means... it's time to open the Jar of Jam and enjoy the Grateful Dead. Each Wednesday we love to bring our fans The Dead Hour with David Gans and Dead Air with Trent Henley! We have lots of Deadheads out there in WNCW land and we love to break out the groovy tunes, every hump day, just for the faithful.

Greetings and welcome to day four of our 30th Anniversary Fall Fundraiser! Thank you for all of the wonderful pledges and heartfelt comments!

Today, we are offering a sweet incentive - When you make a donation before 6pm you'll get a chance to win our Mountain Magnolia Inn Package, located in Hot Springs, NC, which includes the following:

WNCW has been partnering with Chimney Rock State Park for many, many years. We share the same county... Rutherford County, NC in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.The folks at Chimney Rock say this about their incredible state park:"Chimney Rock. It’s one part living classroom, one part outdoor gym. With ample opportunities to learn and explore, along with hiking trails, climbing opportunities, and exciting ways to break a sweat and stay fit, you’re in for a bit of learning, and a bit of fitness."

WE HAVE TICKETS FOR YOU!

Seriously, we have lots of great opportunities for seeing live music AND supporting your favorite public radio station, WNCW 88.7 FM! We also have some groovy gift certificates. You will have to call us at 800 245 8870 to pick up on these amazing thank you gifts. They are not available online.
